MCP server to enforce development workflow discipline
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe setup command changes broader OpenCode agent settings by installing an external plugin and registering a global MCP server, which warrants a warning under the agent-capability rule. The reviewed changes require explicit invocation; the install hook’s state-file creation is related to the package’s purpose, and no install-time data transfer was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the package’s `setup` command or directly invokes `scripts/setup-stack.js`.
Impact
The setup changes which plugins and MCP servers OpenCode loads and adds project-level agent instructions. These are broader agent settings, though the behavior is behind an explicit setup command.
Mechanism
The script invokes OpenCode commands to add the Superpowers plugin and register this MCP server globally; its fallback edits OpenCode’s config file. It also creates `AGENTS.md` in the target project when absent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The optional `setup` script runs `scripts/setup-stack.js` directly; it is not an install lifecycle hook.
- That setup registers the Superpowers plugin and this MCP server globally with OpenCode.
- The setup edits OpenCode configuration and creates an `AGENTS.md` file in the selected project, broadening agent configuration beyond this package.
- The `postinstall` hook creates a project `.state/workflow-state.json` file when one does not exist.
Evidence against
- The package metadata identifies setup as a separate command, and the setup script runs only when invoked directly.
- The install hook initializes workflow state for the package’s stated purpose; the inspected code shows no install-time network contact or credential transfer.
- The bootstrap download is run from a separate shell script, and fetches RTK’s installer from its GitHub host.
